Hooray!
It's a good start.
I would make it a little broader, not just limit it to
chargebacks.
"As consideration for the domain name registration services
provided by xxxxx, you shall pay all applicable initial
registration fees and renewal fees. You will be notified
when renewal fees are due, and it shall be your
responsibility to ensure that such fees are paid. Should
these fees go unpaid by the time specified in the renewal
notice, your registration will be cancelled. You agree that
xxxxxx shall has no liability whatsoever with respect to any
such cancellation, and that xxxxxx may cancel or reassign
the domain name in the event of delinquency in making the
payment. In addition, cancellation of payment after
registration, by refund, charge back, or any other method of
cancellation of domain registration payment for a registered
domain will result in the forfeiture of any and all
rights/ownership claims to the domain name."
A little broader than what you are proposing, as it don't
limit it to charge backs, but include any and all types of
non-payment.
However, on second reading, your proposal also does not
limited it to charge backs, so maybe there isn't any
difference.

Subject: Policy input re: chargebacks
We have an opportunity to table draft language that will
ideally address
the issues we've talked about concerning chargebacks on
domain names that
have been registered through the ICANN/NSI SRS system via
registrars.
I'm hoping that we can use this opportunity wisely and pass
on some great
language that will make all of our lives easier.
To kick things off, I'd like to iterate around this language
with the
members of this list...
"In the event that SLD holders chargeback payment for
services rendered,
or otherwise do not fulfill their payment obligations,
Registrars and
their agents are not obligated to continue providing the
registration
service and may seize control of the domain name
registration for the
purpose of securing payment from the defaulting party."
Keep in mind that whatever we come up with, that all we want
to accomplish
is to ensure that everybody gets paid and no one gets
screwed. Under no
circumstances do I want to set the stage for auctioning,
secondary market
sales etc. through this particular mechanism.
Let's get the feedback rolling!
Thanks,
